Small announcement, there is now an official Manly Discord attached to all backer rewards $5.00 and up, if you wish to access it please link your discord account to your Patreon account although I think it's a little buggy at the moment on Patreon's end.
2017-05-27 00:13:45 +0000 UTC View PostSo now that I cleared out a long game I'm open to suggestions for a Patron Pick stream game. Just reply to this post with a single game you'd be interested in and I'll put a poll later to decide. Just so you know there could be multiple winning picks or one that is more popular and request than a other might not be picked if I think it won't be good streaming format material.

Also anyone having awards coming will receive them this week. I've also picked up a new phone to compensate for my lack of good camera so I can do fancier small scale personal videos! (With 60 fpsss)
Thank you so much for the support this month!

2016-06-30 23:59:00 +0000 UTC View PostThe three week long cold I had set me back terrible on everything but anyone who has an award coming that owed should start getting messages with tracking info/rewards sometime Monday or within the week. This includes people who have lowered their donation tier or stopped donating as the Patreon UI shows me awards owed by the month that respective dollar amount was spent, not by who is currently donating.

2016-05-31 23:59:00 +0000 UTC View PostPart of one of the backer rewards was the promise backer exclusive personal videos which I've been missing as I've gotten other affairs in order. The plan forward is to have at least two of these per month now starting this month with the release of two videos, one of which involves the computer I built with your help.
They're not too special yet as I don't have good video recording equipment (next step) nor experience with live action recording in general but I hope you enjoy them for what they are.
Thank you so much for the support this month!

Hey everyone! The first wave of OMBHM (Official ManlyBadassHero Merchandise) has been created and for now will be a limited backer exclusive. These are extremely durable double sided epoxy charms (meaning they're very hard to break, crack or crush) and they won't have their print scratched by wear in your pockets.
To receive one you must be in the $25 or higher backer range starting at the end of this months payment (I can't put them in a lower tier as due to their material they were much more expensive than a standard anime con charm).
But if you are a current backer and have backed $50 or more in your lifetime I will be contacting you if you wish to receive one as a loyalty reward. I will be designing new items to be added to the lower tiers but there is currently no set date for release.
Aside from that there will be game choice polls for the $5 dollar and higher backers where you can help decide what games can be played on the stream. Ideally people submit ideas to a Game Request post and then I'll pick a few from the listed to have people pick between. Depending how it works out this system may change.
There's also going to be a new set of backer videos to come out, one of which will talk about my new computer that you all helped make possible.
(*NOTE* If you are a current backer in a tier that gets repeated rewards like QnAs or recordings please contact me after making payments with your requests)
That's it for the update everyone, hopefully I explained everything clearly.
Take it easy!

2016-03-01 07:59:59 +0000 UTC View PostIf you haven't seen it yet, I'm currently streaming a XCOM 2 run on my Youtube Livestream. Four people have been made honorary grunts but I plan to make more offscreen as to not interfere with the game portion of the stream.
If you want to be a grunt respond to this post and I'll use your Patreon given nickname in the game.
2016-02-05 21:53:13 +0000 UTC View PostExciting news! The first ever Manly Merchandise is arriving soon in the form of a acrylic phone charm/key chain with one current design and more to follow later. They will be purchasable at a later date but for now the initial wave will only go to certain tier patron backers.
Basically, if you've donated at the $75 tier or higher you will receive one of these charms (pictures to be shown when the production is finished) in the mail. This includes both current & future backers along with those who have donated to those tier levels in the past.
Meaning if you donated that high once but lowered it you will receive the item for being part of the first generation backers. In the event of new designs or new merchandise being conceived then you would have to move back to that backer tier (or stay within it). Like the previous high tier rewards, you do not have to pay any shipping costs to receive these items.
Before I release these though I do have a question to pose to everyone and that is would you prefer the charm to ship with a cell phone strap or keychain as I can only choose one when manufacturing.

2016-01-31 00:00:00 +0000 UTC View PostI've been visiting family, getting sick and overall up to my ears with work and life events so if you had a cute drawing or something coming sorry for the delay. Within the coming week all backers should get their rewards and for those who donated in the higher tiers in the past or intend to in the future there's a new physical reward being printed and custom made hopefully this month.
Aside from that I have a backlog of cool unique personal videos that'll go up along with the announcement that with your support I have managed to build a new computer over the holidays so faster and better rendering along with streaming can begin! My next overall goals are things like cameras which will be handy as I already have booked myself for PAX South with a media badge and plan to try and cover the floor with intentions of going to E3 and doing actual interviews and on site recording.
Aside from that, thank you all for the amazing support you've given so far and I hope everyone's New Year is exciting and comfy.

2015-12-01 07:59:00 +0000 UTC View PostIf you have a Patreon reward coming they'll be arriving by the weekend. There'll also be some new backer videos coming out and some exciting news after the end of the month!

2015-11-01 06:59:00 +0000 UTC View PostAll physical rewards will be shipping Monday and tracking will be personally messaged when they've been shipped. Digital rewards will also be coming this week!
Aside from that I've clarified certain reward tiers more and done some changes, namely I've added the QnA reward to the tiers so if you qualified for that in the previous payment cycle then feel free to leave a question you'd like answered in a future update or QnA video!

The first of many eventual secret or blooper videos for backers. This one features a little extra candid reactions from when me and Cry recorded Katawa Shoujo.
2015-10-16 01:48:32 +0000 UTC View PostThe support has been amazing so far, thanks everyone! To give an idea of what some of the money has gone too I've actually just put an order for a HDMI Capture Card & Splitter which will let me record PS4 & VITA games along with a order of Corpse Party Blood Drive coming out in a week on the VITA.
Aside from that there will be some exciting additional physical backer rewards coming down the line that I'm designing but they'll take some time even just to fabricate and get produced. Anyone who donated in the past and qualified(even if they currently don't) for the tier the items reside in will receive them in addition to whatever they've already received.

2015-10-01 06:59:00 +0000 UTC View PostI'm out of town during the rest of this week so rewards are delayed a little. But on the plus side I'll be adding a new reward for 5 Dollar pledges and up in the form of special backer videos which will be anything from bloopers, edited out content, special personal videos or things I don't feel like publishing as part of my main content.
2015-09-09 05:16:00 +0000 UTC View PostThanks to all the first wave supporters! I'm amazed at all the support that came in right away. I'll be handling rewards soon, bear with me as I fumble around as this is the first time I've done anything like this before.
Gomen.
